1678 Jeremiah 30
Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the Lord ;
neither be dismayed, O Israel : for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and
thy seed from the land of their captivity ; and Jacob shall return,
and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid.
For I am with thee, saith the Lord, to save thee : though I make a
full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet will I not
make a full end of thee ; but I will correct thee in measure, and will
not leave thee altogether unpunished.
¶ For thus saith the Lord, Thy bruise is incurable, and thy wound is
grievous.
There is none to plead thy cause, that thou mayest be bound up :
thou hast no healing medicines.
All thy lovers have forgotten thee ; they seek thee not ; for I have
wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement
of a cruel one, for the multitude of thine iniquity ; because thy sins
were increased.
Why criest thou for thine affliction? thy sorrow is incurable for the
multitude of thine iniquity : because thy sins were increased, I have
done these things unto thee.
Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured ; and all thine
adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity ; and they
that spoil thee shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon thee will I
give for a prey.
For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy
wounds, saith the Lord ; because they called thee an Outcast,
saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeketh after.
¶ Thus saith the Lord ; Behold, I will bring again the captivity of
Jacob’s tents, and have mercy on his dwelling places ; and the city
shall be builded upon her own heap, and the palace shall remain
after the manner thereof.
And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them
that make merry : and I will multiply them, and they shall not be
few ; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.10111213141516171819
